This question arose in me after seeing someone I know involved in a corruption case. My ex-boss is currently being prosecuted and will soon be imprisoned. Considering his advanced age (60), how will he survive the impact of the case and recover?

Another case is concerning a former governor. He is also involved in a corruption case. At the same time, his affairs with several women are exposed. His wife can’t take it anymore and filed for divorce. He seemed to have accepted his fate, but who knows what was going on inside?

Reflecting on this incident, I questioned myself: if that happened to me, could I survive? How long would it take me to recover and get back on my feet? Honestly, I’m not the type of person who enjoys taking risks. Throughout my life, I’ve always walked the straight path. However, trials in life also happen to people like me. These similar cases may occur to members of my family, and whether I like it or not, I will bear the consequences.

If that happens, I don’t think I’ll recover. I’m a crybaby. I’ll be hurt for the rest of my life.

Returning to RK, the former governor, I learned how he handled his downfall. He was quite the gentleman. He publicly apologized to his wife for the mistakes he made during their marriage.

He admitted his mistakes during his marriage to his wife, something not every man would do, especially since he was a very popular figure. But by doing so, he’d removed some of the burden from his heart. He could now focus on facing the corruption case.

Perhaps, to quickly recover from a downfall, one must have the courage to admit mistakes and ask for forgiveness. RK knew that, and he apologized to his wife, sincerely and consciously. If he continued to deny it, his mental burden would only grow heavier.

Even from people who are at their lowest, I can learn. We shouldn’t laugh at people like them, but instead, learn valuable lessons from their life experiences.

Merry Christmas and a happy weekend to all.
